"LOVE LETTER TO NEW ORLEANS"

by Ken Cox

"I do this because I love you, New Orleans."

New Orleans artist Ken Cox studied computer animation in Florida and is now principal of @Team_Acid , creating "psychedelic visions from the great beyond (aka New Orleans)" and inking tattoos for Oak Street Tattoo ( @OSTnola )—but still finding time to produce hangable artwork and paint walls. This past July Cox created his second "love letter to New Orleans” at Franklin Ave and N Villere St, and says this was "by far the hardest project I've taken on." Resisting the temptation to complain about a constant stream people wanting to stop and talk, Cox thrived on the interactions with a city he cares for so deeply.  @flashyken/
